On 24th February 2024, the Twitter account of ESPN's NBA insider, Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn), was hacked, leading to the posting of phishing links related to NBA Top Shot, a blockchain-based platform. The incident, which lasted for at least 21 minutes, prompted warnings from various Twitter users advising against clicking on the suspicious links, described as 'wallet drainers'. The situation also sparked comments on the misuse of such a significant breach, with some users humorously requesting the hacker to unblock them.

What. The. Twitter spammed @wojespn with Jim Park tweets when he reported on the Kerr news and he BLOCKED me over it. I can't control what people decide to tweet about me before I say a single word. Do me a favor and ask him to unblock because this is ridiculous - I rely on him… https://t.co/TTW7RUE2hp
